The Chaos That Is Today

Wow – I guess Web 2.0 is happening somewhere (fortunately I have a delegate there – my partner Ryan McIntyre). That not withstanding, the tempo of stuff going on today is staggering. I’m having a blast sitting here in Boulder just trying to stay mildly ahead of all the stuff flying around. I thought I’d share some of it with you in case you need a fifteen minute break like I do.

Music Hack Day Boston: Ian Rogers, the CEO of Topspin Media point this out to me. It’s happening on 11/21 and 11/22 in Boston at Microsoft NERD and includes plenty of friends (such as Harmonix, Sonos, and Boxee). If you are into music + tech don’t miss it.

Looking forward to the upcoming TechStars event in Seattle – see you there!

Brad – No mention of Google jumping into the digital music space? When all the talk was about Facebook rumors a couple months back, Google quietly went about their business aligning partnerships with a number of major players in the space.

I personally think today was a MONUMENTAL day for the music industry (next week's announcement I guess will be bigger). As Google tends to do with most industries they jump into, the pricing will start inching towards zero, and iTunes will take note soon enough.

Facebook will also be rushing to make sure they're not too late for the party…

I just changed it so it appears at the bottom of the page instead of the top. Any better?

Super – on it.

Yeah – although as far as I can tell this is basically what Yahoo did a couple of years ago (although in typical Yahoo fashion is stalled out). http://mediaplayer.yahoo.com/ But yes – big deal.
